Assembly design - Over Constrained / Inconsistent Error
Assembly design - Over Constrained / Inconsistent Error
(OP)
Hello,
Simple Question (I hope)
In assembly design, I keep getting the error: "Ignored constraint: the system of constraints is inconsistent or over-constrained"
I KNOW it's not over-constrained cause there are DOFs. What I have is basically a 4 sided rectangular frame. I have 3 sides in the assembly. I make 3 individual surfaces coinciendent, such that they are now all in the same plane. I then create a distance mate between the two parallel sides. This is when the error pops up.
Any ideas?
I hope this was a clear description.
What I have been able to do to avoid this is to move component by snapping and then "fix" the two parts together.

Solution: Close CATIA and load it back. Problem solved.

One workaround is apply the offset constraint between a point on each part, instead of a face. This will avoid having the two faces parallel to each other, at least until you have some time to figure out where the problem is.
